Complimentins the Professor.

The following Is taken from the Co.
lnmbus Dispstch's account of the Music
Teachers Convention, which speaks very
highly OF Canton gentleman:
President Wolfram is certainly the
prince Of presiding officers. He keeps
watch OF everyEO iy, and the time Is also
not forgotten. He keeps everyone In
the best of humor, has everything move
on time and every few moments asks the
audience to rise to their feet and by this
means rests them. He has manner
peculiarly his own, and can reiuoe a
large audience to absolute quiet by o
very few words. He certsiuly deserves
the thanks Of not only the Association
hut also those who attend the concerts"

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home mannfac-
tnrers. Especially is this the case with
''Greeus August Flower" and ''Bosehee's
German SyIup," as the reduction of thir-
ty-six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-tifth
more medicine in the IS cents size Tie
"Angnst Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the "Germau Syrup" for
Cough and Lung troubles have, perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in ths
world The advantage of increased size
o. the hotties will he greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, IN every town
and village in civilized countries. SAM
pie bottles Ter ten fl0l cents remain the
same size.

gives the Anarchists new trial. Judge
Gary has told me they could never have
another trial. They could not get Jury.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighborine
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi.

ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreealle itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,

i Gentlemen: This past summer my wifi

which growing worse, caused me to cal
in physician. He attended her severa
weeks without benetiting her. She, know.
ing the splendid effect S. S. s. had on me-
determined to test it in her case. At that
time she had copious and disagreeable
discharges from the left nOstril. Before
the first bottle of S. S. s. was used up she
was much better, and few additional
bottles set her all right. 1t is remarka-
BILE that s. s. S. is good for colds and sore
threats. A few months ago was trou-
bled occasionally with my throat from
preaching. / carried a bottle of Swift's

gnstus Schoonmaker, of New York, for

OF Vermont, for the term of three years !;
Waiter l.. Bragg, of Alabama, for the

Cooley's name heads the list does not nee
essarily indicate that lie will be chairman

pointed by Judge Gresham receiver Oft the

He is about forty-seven years old, Re-

THE effect of the Sunday law is begin
ming to be seen in this city. A larger
number Of drunken men were seen on the
streets last Sunday night than ever be-
fore, and the late cars were filed with
them. The law is very unpopular with
the masses Of the people, and in conse-
quencc tricks of all kinds are employed to
evade it, and the result is men drink
more than they would if they had the
privilege of walking into an open saloon
and getting their liquor. "Cold tea" is
now the popular Sunday drink, and it
makes a large size drunk come very quick

any quantities if one. knows the ropes,

causing great deal of quiet hut very
heavy drinking on sunkay, and has prov
ed a failure if not positive evil New

young author might well feel proud 1t
deals in histosical facts principally, as
also describes the towns and hanilets in
Claiborne, and that, too, in so terse a
style as to prove interesting all the way
through, from start to finish MIR. Hulse's
book fills the bill, and reflects credit on
himself, credit and laudation of the right
kind, not idle praise. The gentleman is
talented, and wields a most trenchant
pen. Histories of the kind he has gotten
up should be written and compiled by ev-
cry Parish in Louisiana, as in years to
come they will prove Invaluable

days ago, and the Society applied to the
government to admit it free on the ground
that it was intended for religious purpo-

advisement, and after sleeping over it re-
solved that it could not be considered as
coming within the scope of the free list
and that the duty on it must be paid. The
